<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px; color: #74777D;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">Given EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE_AND_AT is used with KRunner, you want to also wrap all the implementations of the now deprecated API with the BUILD variant of the macro, so here for example:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">#if KRUNNER_BUILD_DEPRECATED_SINCE(5, 70)
void AbstractRunner::createRunOptions(QWidget *parent)
{
[...]
}
#endif</pre></div>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">This allows to build KRunner itself without any of the deprecated API actually part of the build.<br />
Test yourself by setting the cmake var EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE_AND_AT=CURRENT (e.g. edit the var in the cmake cache).</p></div></div>
<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">And best practice seems to be not to do mass wrapping of many methods, but do explicitely per method. While more code/lines, has the advantage to be easier to read/understand, as usually begin/emd are in view, and also avoids that actually wrong code is wrapped (e.g. when methods get added later and by accident are placed amid the wrapped ones.</p></div></div><br /><div style="border: 1px solid #C7CCD9; border-radius: 3px;"><div style="padding: 0; background: #F7F7F7; border-color: #e3e4e8; border-style: solid; border-width: 0 0 1px 0; margin: 0;"><div style="color: #74777d; background: #eff2f4; padding: 6px 8px; overflow: hidden;"><a style="float: right; text-decoration: none;" href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D29281#inline-167472">View Inline</a><span style="color: #4b4d51; font-weight: bold;">alex</span> wrote in <span style="color: #4b4d51; font-weight: bold;">abstractrunner.h:154</span></div>
<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px; color: #74777D;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">That makes sense, but I want to express that this method has been defunct since version 5.0<br />
so that the maintainers of existing plugins can be sure that they can savely remove the method calls.<br />
Whats the best way to express this?</p></div></div>
<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">I would just say in the docs "<span class="phabricator-remarkup-mention-unknown">@deprecated</span> Since 5,0, this feature has been defunct". This is what has been done elsewhere where API got retrroactively tagged as deprecated. This is just text in the docs, now with up-to-date information, so other than the macros will not affect anything.</p></div></div></div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R308 KRunner</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D29281">https://phabricator.kde.org/D29281</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>alex, Plasma, broulik, davidedmundson, vkrause<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kossebau, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
